 [Ajv version 5.0.0](https://github.com/epoberezkin/ajv/releases/tag/5.0.0) that supports draft-06 is released. It may require either migrating your schemas or updating your code (to continue using draft-04 and v5 schemas).

+
+```javascript
+ajv.addMetaSchema(require('ajv/lib/refs/json-schema-draft-04.json'));
+```
